Many people will vouch for the fact that having a pet around you helps you relax and de-stress. Taking a cue from such experiences is design student Jens Dyvik who created the unique Ref wearable pet concept for his graduation from the Design Academy Eindhoven. The unique Ref is worn on the wrist. It helps you become aware of your emotional state by sensing your heartbeat and emulating your state of excitement through unique ways. For instance, if you are stressed, Ref raises its head and tail and when you calm down or relax, Ref automatically lowers its head and curls its tail. (Isn’t it smart?) The main idea behind this creation is to make people aware of their emotions and not allow them to rule over oneself. Ref is operated through six servomotors and an Arduino in a box.

Although not production ready yet, this concept will surely be loved by many.
